About Laketia
Laketia Carrell is an LPC based in Missouri with twenty years of experience in counseling and mental health coaching.
Background and approach
She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and depression, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family challenges, addiction, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and career setbacks.
Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and life transitions like divorce and separation. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques, along with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing.
Laketia helps clients examine thoughts and beliefs that undermine confidence and lead to self-sabotaging behaviors, and she uses behavioral interventions to create practical change. Rather than prescribing fixed answers, she collaborates with clients to explore new perspectives and strategies tailored to each person’s values and circumstances.
Clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented process aimed at building resilience, improving coping skills, and identifying actionable steps for academic, professional, and interpersonal success. Her style emphasizes partnership, practical problem solving, and developing tools that can be used beyond the therapy setting.
Integrating practical therapies into online care
Several of her methods translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, creating a space where clients can explore personal values and build self-confidence. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce stress and improve emotional balance.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting interventions as progress unfolds. This allows for a tailored plan that blends structured skill-building with reflective, client-led exploration.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage time constraints, and access support from home or work while working toward concrete changes and coping skills.
